Global DC Plan Management

Mercer’s global defined contribution (DC) management approach recognizes the increasing need that most corporates have to manage their DC arrangements. Mercer has developed a simple framework to help employers ensure that their plans around the world are optimized.

The three key areas are:
DESIGN TO ENABLE — DC demands a broader view in terms of design. It's not just the contribution structure. Consider also the default options and member experience. Are overall costs manageable and is the plan competitive?
MANAGE TO PROTECT — Focus on tight vendor management. If anything goes wrong the implications can be severe including loss of member funds and reputational damage. In addition ensure the plan is in line with the regulators' ever tightening grip on DC.
INVEST TO LEVERAGE — Help clients to use their considerable buying power with a view to improve retirement outcomes for employees.

Whether there is one plan or many plans across several geographies, Mercer Globe is designed to help companies better navigate the complexities of retirement plan management by understanding the implications of changes to design, contribution and investment policies; facilitating strong governance practices; and assessing the impact of fluctuating economic conditions.
Mercer Globe complements our holistic, consulting approach by helping sponsors make better informed decisions about retirement programs across their organization and deliver employee retirement benefits more effectively.
